Ontario stop sign tickets are minor offences investigated by the police. Traffic Law Paralegal Services will help you identify all available defences and argue your matter in court to secure best outcome of this traffic allegation. Disobey stop sign tickets in Mississauga, Toronto and many other municipalities are very common charges. Often we are able to have these charges withdrawn by the prosecution or resolved to keep your record clean. In many cases, where resolution is not available or simply does not advance your goal, we will conduct a trial and argue your stop sign case to be dismissed.

The Highway Traffic Act (HTA) Section 136(1)(a) outlines the offence of failing to stop at a stop sign. Here's the exact wording of the relevant part of the Act:

"136 (1) Every driver or street car operator approaching a stop sign at an intersection, (a) shall stop his or her vehicle or street car at a marked stop line or, if none, then immediately before entering the nearest crosswalk or, if none, then immediately before entering the intersection; and

(b) shall yield the right of way to traffic in the intersection or approaching the intersection on another highway so closely that to proceed would constitute an immediate hazard and, having so yielded the right of way, may proceed."
